Chuck loads of random pipes and stuff under the bonnet so it at least LOOKS like there's something in there...

Samcos don't do a set for a 1.2 corsa, but you could muck about and see if there's any similar shaped hoses on lager engines. Then get those ones and make em fit.

But with an engine like that, do you really want to let people see your engine bay?

May sound stupid, but having a really clean engine bay etc makes the engine seem smaller etc and draws ya attention to the fact its a 1.2

i found with my 1.2 all it needed was the cam cover and manifold cover sanded down and polished to mirror finish and everything washed then dryed properly before starting car - looked nice n shiny in the sun
